Lansing police public information officer Robert Merritt said officers were patrolling in the 800 block of North Pine Street about 11:15 p.m. Monday when they were flagged down by a resident. The resident told police someone was breaking into a nearby house.

Officers arrived at the scene of a red-tagged home in the same block. Merritt said the door had been forced open.

Police entered and found the suspect, a 47-year-old Lansing man, inside, Merritt said. He was arrested without incident.

Officers further found the suspect's belongings in the house. He is expected to be arraigned Tuesday in Lansing District Court.
